The thought of Dina being defending champion makes me :scared: Hopefully she's got her head screwed on tight.

Glad to see we're in for another Wozniacki/Wozniak thriller. :lol:

Oh the Joy :p

Thanks Cara. Tokyo is 5 hours ahead of me, so I'm gonna be in work when she plays :sad:

Please Dina, do well.

The surface is different from last year :o The tournament organizers found that it was too fast in 2008 :sobbing: so it got relayed and is now a "slow hardcourt" on ITF standards :crying2:

All of Dina's success when this was a fast, indoor, carpet court is now ruined by yet another slow, outdoor cement court :o

;16552983']Ooh! New tourney! God bless Dina! Davai and never give up! When's her first match?

This week, not sure the day because she has a BYE in the first round. Second round most likely against Kanepi (or a Qualifier), who she has a winning record against :hearts:

Oh yes. I guess their last meeting was in Australian Open '09. But whoever her opponent would be, I am praying for her win! C'mon Dina!

Caralenko

Sep 26th, 2009, 03:07 AM

Yes, in the AO - but I don't like to underestimate Dinara's ability to implode :p Don't give us another Toronto, DinDins!

Sep 26th, 2009, 03:10 AM

Me, too! I hope Dina will play one of her best tennis in there. Ooh! I hope so too. I don't like what had happened during that Toronto. Really shocking though. Go go go Dina!

Nina.

Sep 26th, 2009, 10:55 AM

Fist opponent is probably the qualifier. When did Kanepi win her last match?

PersephoneDisco

Sep 26th, 2009, 01:11 PM

I agree with Nina, Kanepi's been down in the dumps along with my CSN :sobbing: She just goes on court and wanders off mentally and plays craptastic...but then she could easily come to court and play aggressive tennis :p

I seem to remember they played each other in last year's tokyo tournament...

Yep. It was 3 sets and she lost one of them in a TB, I think...
It wasn't a great performance but she redeemed herself later on.

Tokyo 1Rs are underway, so Dina will be playing after they are complete. Give it all you got! :yeah:

Yeah, that was when all the seeded players lost earlier on that day and Dina was playing scared on that match , maybe thinking the upset bug might catch her, lol.

Wow, I really miss Dina's great form last year. Where is that now??

A Q to start the tournament Hmmm...is she Japanese ? after the USO i'm scared of any "small" player upsetting the seeded players :lol:

But the good thing is that we'll see Dinara again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow :bounce:

;16561382']So, who's the first opponent? Sorry. Kind of not updated at the moment. Yesterday we experienced brown-out here because of the typhoon.

Chang ;)

I was gonna ask you about that seeing as you're in the Philippines, hope you're okay.

Being a general nuisance? Why, yes! :D

Was Ana one of the first matches? Cos there was a stream for that today and it ended with Cornet's match. The dude decided to not do any more...

I want old Dina back! Or the new and improved Dina will do also! I just want to see her enjoying tennis out there!

It's always doable if everyone fucked up ! if Dina didn't lose early she could have won the tournament , but if the others seeds did the same maybe she wouldn't :lol:
Like the French proverb says : With enough 'ifs' we could put Paris in a bottle
